Dell Laptop - Low battery turned off, now wireless won't connect to internet

OGTiago · 10-22-2008, 03:41 PM

EDIT: Now it fixed itself, I opened up my laptop and this time it connected.

Windows Vista

Didn't know if to put this here, or in the Vista section.

Basically, my laptop turned off after the battery went out. When I turned it on I got the "recovered after shutting down unexpectedly, blah blah", now when I try to connect to the internet it just says "Local only" no internet!

Other devices can connect (through Ethernet, haven't tried any other hardware wirelessly*)

I tried system restore but I still can't connect to the internet.

ANY HELP!? Please.

If you have that again, look for the FN key(next to CTRL)and hold it and press F2, might need to do that twice, it restarts/stops wireless connections.
